HIKING

Reservoir Woods Park in Roseville Hike

Mon, Nov 4, 2024, 9:30am

Location
Reservoir Woods Park
1901 Alta Vista Dr, Roseville, MN 55113
 

Our November 4, 2024 hike will be led by Michelle Trudeau-Spanjers at Reservoir Woods Park in Roseville, our first UMRA hike at this park. The Reservoir Woods Park site was home to a 30-million gallon, underground water reservoir that for years had been operated by the City of St. Paul. When the reservoir became outdated, St. Paul sold the land to the City of Roseville in 1997. Roseville is committed to keeping the land pristine and forest-like and the only improvements have been restoring the eroding trail and removing invasive species.

We will meet at 9:30 AM at the Reservoir Woods Trailhead and Parking lot located at 1901 Alta Vista Dr, Roseville, MN 55113, and start hiking by 9:40. We will be hiking through woodlands and prairies over flat and hilly terrain, for a total of about 4 miles. Hiking poles may be helpful as the trails will be covered with leaves and may be muddy. We will be on the lookout for the largest butternut tree in Minnesota! For those that are interested, we could meet for lunch at D'Amico and Sons on County Road B in Roseville afterwards.

Please sign up for this hike (required). Your completed form will be used to be sure everyone has arrived. Registrations will be accepted up to 24 hours before the hike.

Cabinets of Curiosities will seek out the University of Minnesota Herbarium on the St Paul Campus.  Tim Whifeld, Collections Manager, will share his knowledge of that amazing collection and explain its critical importance in the twenty-first century. Botanists study these pressed plants, individually and collectively, to establish a history of plant life, often over centuries, because they contain compelling evidence of the ever modulating geographical distribution of plants and evidence of how climate, pests, and other factors have changed species over time.
